Summer reading help!!!?

Question

i had to read guns, germs, and steel for AP world. i have to answer the discussion questions and i've asked for help on here before and got virtually no help. soooo if someone could help me i'd really appreciate it.

22. What aspects of Diamond's evidence do lay readers have to take on faith? Which aspects are explained?

23. Diamond offers two tribes, the Chimbu and the Daribi, as examples of differing reactivities to innovation. Do you think he would accept larger, continent-wide differences in receptivity? Why or why not? How problematic might cultural factors prove for Diamond's arguments?

24. How, throughout the book, does Diamond address the issues he discusses in the last few pages of his final chapter, when he proposes a science of human history?

for 22 and 23 if you could tell me where to find them that would be great. for 24 could some1 explain what he means?

Answer 1

I don't think Diamond would accept continent-wide differences in receptivity.  Once you start looking at whole continents, cultures become too heterogenous.  If you're going to compare one culture against anohter, you have to use distinct cultures.
